[00:00.00] Snowbird
[00:05.91] Artist : Anne Murray
[00:09.81]
[00:10.97] Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean,
[00:15.89] The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
[00:20.44] The snowbird sings the song he always sings,
[00:25.64] And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.
[00:31.53] When I was young my heart was young then, too.
[00:36.07] Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
[00:41.69] But now I feel such emptiness within,
[00:46.41] For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.
[00:51.45]
[00:52.18] Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
[00:56.70] And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
[01:02.44] What I love forever is untrue,
[01:07.27] And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
[01:12.63]
[01:13.28] The breeze along the river seems to say,
[01:17.19] That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
[01:22.52] So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go,
[01:27.22] To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.
[01:32.55]
[01:33.37] Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
[01:37.86] And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
[01:43.18] What I love forever is untrue,
[01:48.08] And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
[01:53.76] Yeah, if I could I know that I would fly away with you.
